Chemistry Degree Projects in Action!

Katie Gogolen

Synthesis of Pigments For Oil Paints

Katie Gogolen ’22, 法医生物学和化学双学位, and a Chemistry Club member, 在实验室合成颜料,生产出不同颜色的油画颜料. 她用这些颜料开发了白色和普鲁士蓝油画颜料,然后创作了上面的画.

Katie Gogolen

Chemistry and Forensic Biology major, Katie Gogolen, 获得了2022年卓越法医生物学和卓越研究奖,也是荣誉学者项目的毕业生.

为了一个荣誉项目,我在实验室里合成颜料,并用它们来制作油画颜料. 我把硫酸铁(ii)和亚铁氰化钾溶液混合在一起,制成了普鲁士蓝漆. 我把颜料晒干,磨成细粉,和亚麻籽油混合在一起. 我把氧化钛和亚麻籽油加在一起,制成了白色的油漆. 我在画布上涂上了颜料,用我制作的颜料来跟随鲍勃·罗斯的教程《立博平台》.

我喜欢Keystone的化学系,因为它提供了学习各种化学的机会, 我最喜欢的是法医化学,因为我也是法医生物学专业的. 学习化学开阔了视野,也带来了很多工作机会.

染料敏化太阳能电池中藻蓝蛋白的电位

Jacob Magdon ’22, 他是化学专业的毕业生,也是化学俱乐部的主席, used phycocyanin, a pigment extracted from spirulina, 提出了在染料敏化太阳能电池中利用藻蓝蛋白的新方法.

Jacob Magdon, a 2022 Chemistry graduate, won the Excellence in Chemistry, Excellence in Research, and the Thomas G. 库皮拉里物理科学优秀奖.

染料敏化太阳能电池中藻蓝蛋白的电位

For my project, I used phycocyanin, a pigment extracted from spirulina, 提出了在染料敏化太阳能电池中利用藻蓝蛋白的新方法. This new method complexed TiO2 and phycocyanin without the need for Nano-TiO2. 在斯克兰顿大学扫描电子显微镜的帮助下对溶液进行了分析. Determined that the method was successful, 将该溶液涂覆在掺杂fto的玻璃反电极上,用碘化物制成染料敏化太阳能电池. 采用最大功率转换效率,高达26.91% was found, with an average of 14.34%. 与工业平均水平相比,太阳能电池需要工作的规模大了9倍.6%,差异有统计学意义,p值为0.0468.Jacob Magdon Project

Currently, 我正在再次运行我的数据以得出一致性结论,并将在Dr. Selig.

我选择了基斯顿大学的化学课,因为化学课比其他课更能激励我,而且教化学课的教授真的很有启发性和激励力. 研究的机会是无穷无尽的,我从未停止学习!
